Media Player Classic..tried all the others, sooner or later they all didnt play something..Ive yet to come across something mpc didnt play..

i tried Media player classic, VLC and Mplayer

Media player is messy with subtitles (AAS, embeded etc....) when watching anime this thing sux....VLS is ok with subtitles but i had problems with frame freezing... from times to timez same frames were freezing and were mixing with other frames... WTH?Mplayer is the best i have seen until far..... i hope nothing goes wrong with it....

but as well... next versions will show how things will be in the future.... none of players are 100% working that's the only sure...

VLC is what I have been using...did not notice any colour variation etc...mostly playing avi DvDRips ...NO Probs so far...except got a Corel Draw file (MSS2 format) where VLC played only audio....Learnt GOM plays that ....but I used the Nero showtime which was installed with Nero 9...Ya..and it played them...So though I have the GOM Setup...I have not installed it...Will if VLC+Nero Showtime Fail..Guess not

I've used all the players in the list and more. I used to use VLC for ages to play any video/audio, until I found out about KMPlayer. I've now been using KMPlayer for atleast 2 years, and i love it! It plays everything i have, it performs really well, and the functionality is far superior to VLC IMO. The controls are easy, and the player looks really nice. The player sits above all windows when playing files, which i like. Specially when listening to music - everything you would need to do can be done by clicking buttons of the windows of KMPlayer, no need for right clicks or menus.

I tried KMPlayer when VLC was giving trouble with MKV files and changing audio tracks. KMPlayer did the job fine.

- Multiple subtitle support (e.g. English top, German bottom)
- Effective equalizer (and further bass/treble controls)
- Neat and skinnable interface
- Video zoom in and out
- Easy sound / subtitle synchronization
- Easy aspect ratio change (from keyboard)
- Instant response to ff / rew / pause (from keyboard)
- Remember the last played position both for video and audio
- Run multiple instances
- And many more which I have never needed.

KMPlayer was sold to a company (Pandora TV) some time ago. They promised to continue KMPlayer as freeware. I hope they do keep their promise. And I believe that they will, because they have already released an update.

By the way, it is "The KMPlayer". There is also a player named "KMPlayer", but I don't think this thread is referring to it.

Seldomly using VLC when;

- KMPlayer cannot open or play (very rare though)
- playing a .ts file with multiple audio/subtitle streams
- need to stream a video to TV

yea i agree with you been using its for nearly six month the video quality is awesome,the skin is really nice been trying daum pot player too it has more option but splayer has conquered me with the skin and autosubtitle download.try it its better than vlc i don't understand why people like vlc for me its not even a decent player,km player,splayer,daum pot player are what i call good video players.vlc has some issues with some videos
